WordPress and wamp sending “Delivery status notification Failure” to my inbox every 7 minutes

I have used a WAMP server to host my website publicly, using Godaddy for my domain and open ports so it’s public. Ever since I installed WordPress, it keeps trying to send messagess to some email address every time I do anything, and now it’s picked up Google spam filters so I recieve the following everytime it attempts to send:

Mail Delivery Subsystem – delivery status notification (Failure)

It’s flooding my inbox.

My first thoughts were SMTP. I went through and disabled that from WAMP and did a fresh install of WordPress, and it’s still doing it non stop! I have no idea what it could be and was hoping that someone here may know about something I may have overlooked in either WAMP or WordPress. The email it keeps trying to send to is [email protected]. I have been through every file in wamp and WordPress, also mysql and have found no reference of the email address.

Is there something other than disabling SMTP in WAMP I need to stop these delivery status notification failure emails?

The only bypass of this I have been able to get is by setting a filter in gmail to auto delete msgs that reference the error, but I would like to get it to stop all together. I have also been through every gmail setting, and tried not even using the same email address on setup of wordpress, yet it still sends the error.
